The Tarini Silver Guttapusalu Necklace – Medium (White/Oxidised)
This is a beautiful guttapusalu studded with red/green kempu stone and white zircon. The guttapusalu is decorated with natural pearl.
The gutta pusalu is a classic design from Andhra Pradesh and is named so because the necklace is fringed with bunches of small pearls very similar to “a shoal of small fish” (gutta). Pusalu means “beads” and this design originated in areas close to the ancient pearl fisheries along the Coromandel coast of India.
Handcrafted in Sterling Silver (92.5%) with techniques used to craft temple jewellery for centuries, this necklace is a heirloom piece.

The necklace arrived in perfect condition. The silver is shiny and the stones are clearly visible. I noticed the tassel helps with adjusting the length, which is helpful. A bit heavy for daily wear, but it’s perfect for special occasions.
